Labor Turned Inward

Twenty-two figures of the human form at labor. Even includes one leaning on his shovel, we've all seen that...but there are times we do need to stop and reconnoiter what we've already done, see if we need to alter our methods, and to feed our sense of accomplishment.

I'm reminded by these figures of a nursing class I took this week. It turned out to include a section on my own disease. I thought I knew everything there was to know about it but I was wrong. And I've been depressed ever since. Somewhere deep in my heart I've hoped this one symptom was a medicine side effect that I had a choice over. No chance. No cure. So I'm leaning on my shovel thinking.

"Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens." ~ Arthur Gordon 1804-1890

Why Tarot, you ask?

Tarot opened previously closed doors to my own heart with it's merciless quest for the truth, nothing but the truth. They flay the soul and make me say thank you afterward.Each hour spent with my cards is a new lesson to be learned. Viva la Journey.
